Oh, and Makybe Diva had no problem beating up on boys when she was 6 and 7, even giving them weight. A three-peat in the Melbourne Cup tops any of Zenyatta's three-peats by a mile (almost literally).
I've tried the age argument with him before, and to a lesser extent, other mares beating males at top levels of competition.

I've become convinced that when reading your post, all Smoothie will see is:

Xxxxxxxxxxxxx, Zenyatta xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx championship xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx she xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx she xxxxxxxxxxxxx stakes xxxxxxxxxxx. Xx she xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx top level xxxxxxxxxxxx, yes, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx her xxxxxxxxxxxx 6. Xxx she didxxx, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx boys xxxx she xxx 6 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. A three-peat in the Breeders Cup xxxxxxxxxxx Zenyatta's xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
